What Did You Do Today?

[Janet]

It's horrible when little ones are sick. I'm glad that you can be there for them and give them the comfort they need. Hope they start feeling better soon and that no one else comes down with it.

I had a pretty busy day. We are getting a new metal roof put on, so my day started with lots of noise, lol! Our roof was in terrible shape. I've been waiting for a good hailstorm to damage it so the insurance would pay for part of it, but noooo!!! Then I had to call Direct TV to move my dish, and they said they can't come until the 28th The roofers have to take it down tomorrow. I'm sorry, but if Mike has to go without TV for a week, this is not going to be a happy place

I also took Kirby to be groomed, little Layni to the vet, then physical therapy for me. Tomorrow I'm keeping my great niece, Landrie for a while. That will be fun!

[Janet]

So far today I've gone to physical therapy, spoke on the phone with a friend and then printed out the installation instructions for a stove. The oven at my mom's quit working and it was going to cost a fortune to fix it so we used the rental house money and bought one like Mom had (just a newer model since she bought hers in '98) for $314. It's only a 20 inch but Mom wanted more cabinets and less stove...lol The stove top still works so it should be in on the 28th and Rick will install it.

Not planning on doing much else today. I go tomorrow to the spine Dr again. I'm so sick of all this. If the injection on March 2nd doesn't help I'm not sure what I'll do.

Betsi, you sounds soooo busy!!! I hope you get your TV up and going soon!! I can't imagine how grouchy Mike would be without it!! Have fun with your great neice!!

Janet, I hope your therapy works for you!! How nice that you were able to find a nice replacement stove.

Well.......today I have Dae Lynn AND the kids home sick!!! The kids are still running fevers and Dae Lynn is home with a sore throat........and grumpiness!!!! Dean is whiney.....which he does for mostly Dae Lynn's benefit!! I'll be glad when all of this is over!!! I guess the schools are being hit really hard right now with sickness.

I was going to go shopping today to get away but I really have things to do so I decided to stay home instead. I bought some tomato seeds a few days ago and I think that I may try to start some. It seems a little early to me but Glen said to go ahead and try it.

Last night I went to Karley and Kiley's last basketball game that they'll play much in. I enjoyed it.....still wish that I understood the game more!! It was nice to get out of the house for awhile.

We have the Alley tonight and I'll need to be there in case a lot of the helpers are sick. I have a feeling that the attendance will be down in the kids as well. I think that if Dae Lynn's home again tomorrow that I may go shopping then. If I go then I won't have to worry about being home by a certain time. I sooooo need some time away from home!!! Maybe I should call Marva........

Hi Guys, sorry I've been MIA. It's been such a hectic week after our weekend in OK. I've been so busy at work and Gary is having a terrible time at night with his asthma, so neither of us is getting much sleep. I'm so tired, I just want to cry like a little kid. I think he's a bit better this evening, so maybe he's turned the corner. I don't know how many more all nighters I can pull.

[2tiredmom]

Oh My Goodness. You all are so busy with so many things. Betsy hope all goes well with the TV. Janet I hope you are feeling better soon. Diana I hope your home front gets to feeling better and you get that shopping trip. Gina I hope you can get rested.
I did my normal routine, Get up go to work come home do some work around the house and work on my genealogy (sp) I have gone all the way back to Wales in the 1500's on my fathers side and to Ireland 1600's on my mothers side. So i guess I have some blarney in me. LOL. Going to Wisconsin this weekend with my youngest daughter to visit with my hubby. His company is putting us up in a hotel and we have passes to go to Chula Vista indoor waterpark at the Dells. Hoping the weather is good for the drive there and back.

[gja1000]

YAY! we tried some avoidance strategies of things that might be aggravating gary's asthma, AND, he started back on Prednisone. VOILA, he slept all night and is breathing much better this morning!!! YAY!

I'm getting my hair cut after work, which is two weeks overdue, so I look pretty shaggy. I have class today but have a guest speaker for half the class so it should be pretty easy. I'm looking forward to a better day.

[Janet]

So glad you and Gary were able to sleep better last night. I hope you both feel more rested.

With our hair cut short, you can sure tell when we are overdue can't you. I try to schedule mine before I leave the salon and usually schedule every 4 - 5 weeks. Depends on the time of year and if I got it cut on a new moon, sometimes I forget to check.

Glad that Gary is feeling better Gayle.

Have a good time, Linda.

Diana, I hope the kids are feeling better.

Janet, how is your neck?

I went into town with my friends today. I am getting a rental car in the morning.
I will, hopefully, not need it past Monday!

The kids are sleeping over tomorrow night. Mackenzie doesn't want to come. She has play rehearsals and some essays to write. This is why you must enjoy children and or grandchildren every second you are with them. They grow up, and do not want to hang out with Grandma so much anymore! She is a sweetie though, and this is the natural way of things.

[Janet]

My neck is doing okay I think. Went to the spine Dr today and he said I could try driving the bus, but if it hurt, I was to call him and he would get me off work immediately. I'd only have to drive 4 days (starting Monday), but next Friday I'll be off for the injection and also the week after.

You know Judy, I'm beginning to really dislike the natural way of things. I'm having a really hard time with Ricky planning to move out soon. I don't let on to him, but this is gonna be a hard one.

[Blueyes]

Your kids and grandkids do outgrow you. But then you get to have a relationship with the adult that they become, and that's neat too!

I have listened to banging on my roof and a power saw cutting metal for 2 days, and I am about ready to scream, lol! So tonight I am doing the prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow. My day just gets better and better

[gja1000]

Lord Betsi, what a day. I really feel for you on both counts, the noise and the prep. I was a real whiny baby during my prep, I hope yours goes better.

[Blueyes]

I got all of the liquid down... and it's working

[gja1000]

Oh my! don't forget the vaseline!

[DianaB]

I'll have to catch up on the posts later. I'm still dealing with sick kids.....mostly Dean. He wants held ALL the time.....and Karlie is bored so I'm about to lose my mind this morning!!!! I'm meeting a friend for lunch and I can't tell you how ready I am to go!!! Amy's going to come over and watch the kids for awhile for me!! Yay!!! I can't tell you how thin my patience is getting today!! I've had them ALL week!!!

I called Jaci and we MAY go to some flea markets tomorrow. I may just go ahead and go even if she can't go with me. I'm going to get away from the kids!! I need to!!
